39

I thought the song uses a capo or else you don't use standard tuning. How come brian doesn't seem to use either when playing...like 39 into love of my life same guitar.

Still can't get the intro to that song right. Anyone any advice on the intro?

The speed of the song was altered after recording the guitar. I think the reason was that they thought it was too slow and they wanted to speed it up just a little bit.

But when you speed up a tape, the pitch changes too. And therefor it sounds like it's played with a capo on the first.

Hey Niek (or anybody else who's good with mixing), do you think you could remix it and share it in its original speed?

It's nothing more than Brian tuning his guitar up a half step on the recording. His guitar is standard tuning live.

No, it's sped up.

I'd certainly like to know where it is stated that the recording was sped up. It's stated in the ANATO Tab Songbook that the song is tuned up a half step.

It was sped up so that the highest note Roger hits during the middle is the one Brian wanted, rather than the one Roger could do.

Actually it was sung far to fast so they had to slow it down. It also used to be called 40.

All I am saying from a recording engineer's point of view is that when a tape is sped up and slowed back down, you can tell the instrument or voice is not natural sounding. It tends to get that "chipmunk" effect. The guitar in that song sounds perfectly natural and does not sound sped up in either an audible or sonic sense. That's not Brian on the high notes either. Where are yo guys getting this information? If it's true, I'll shut my mouth but this is the first I've ever heard this. Please provide accurate and proven accounts. Thanks.

When it's just a semitone it doesn't get the "chimpunk" effect.

Sure. I'll do it tomorrow. If I forget about it, please bump this topic back to the top :-)

"Actually it was sung far to fast so they had to slow it down. It also used to be called 40. "

Actually, it does, although it's not as obvious. A good example is The Beatles 'When I'm 64', which is sped up a semitone. Which is noticable, if you listen to Paul's timbre.
